Title: Caller identification and called persons sought annunciation signaling phone unit
Inventor: GREENBERG STEPHEN DHANI
IPC: H04M1/65
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: A Caller Identification and Persons Sought Annunciation Signaling Phone Unit that delivers a first outgoing message to a caller identifying a request for the caller to state one's name and to whom one wishes to speak to.  Once the caller records the information, stating one's name and who the caller wishes to speak to, a predetermined ring and playback sequence is generated at the other end. Ultimately to indicate to the called party the identity of the caller and to whom the caller is seeking.  The users of the unit may preprogram the preferred ring and playback sequence to best suit their desires. The unit may be in part controlled at a Central Switching Office by a mainframe computer programmed to activate a corresponding subscribers phone number. Whereupon the information recorded and stored in the mainframe computer at the Central Switching Office is sent to activate a ring and reply playback sequence to a compatible phone unit at the called party end.

Patent CA-2209143-A1 (CA)
Title: A method for making a continuing call in an intelligent network call
Inventor: PYKAELISTOE MIKA
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1996-01-03
Abstract: In a method according to one intelligent network recommendation, when B subscriber has hung up the phone, a Service Switching Point (SSP) sends a message to a Service Control Point (SCP) about the hanging up. The SCP responds with a request to disconnect the B leg. A separate request increases unnecessary signalling. In another known method, after B subscriber has hung up, a timer is started and the B leg is disconnected only after a set period of time. This waiting time is annoying to A subscriber, especially when there are many calls to be made. In the method according to the invention, A subscriber can make a continuing call without waiting or without causing unnecessary signalling so that after a Service Control Function (SCF) receives information about the break off of the call, it sends a message to a Service Switching Function (SSF) containing a request to collect the dialling by A subscriber relating to a new B subscriber. The Service Switching Function (SSF) directs the telephone network to disconnect the connection to B subscriber and create a connection to a new B subscriber.

Title: Method and apparatus for transverse electromagnetic induction well logging
Inventor: TABAROVSKY LEONTY A
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 1997-07-08
Abstract: A method of measuring the conductivity of earth formations penetrated by a wellbore. The method comprises selectively passing an alternating current through transmitter coils inserted into the wellbore. Each of the transmitter coils has a magnetic moment direction different from the magnetic moment direction of the other ones of the transmitter coils. The alternating current includes a first and a second frequency. The amplitude at the first frequency has a predetermined relationship to the amplitude at the second frequency. The relationship corresponds to the first and the second frequencies. The method includes selectively receiving voltages induced in a receiver coil having a sensitive direction substantially parallel to the axis of the corresponding transmitter coil through which the alternating current is passed. A difference in magnitudes between a component of the received voltage at the first frequency and a component of the voltage at the second frequency is measured, and conductivity is calculated from the difference in magnitudes of the components of the received voltage at the two frequencies.  In a preferred embodiment, the step of measuring the difference in magnitudes between the voltage components at the two frequencies includes extracting digital signal samples of the received voltage at predetermined times with respect to a cycle of the transmitter current at the first frequency.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the addressing of liquid crystal displays
Inventor: SURGUY PAUL WILLIAM
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1996-05-13
Abstract: A liquid crystal device of the kind in which individually addressable regions are set-table to different optical states in response to drive waveforms is described. The waveforms are used to cause the material in different re-gions to remain set in its existing optical state or to change to another state in dependence upon data to be input to the device, and they are pulse-like in nature and of predetermined am-plitude and duration. The operating speed of the device in response to said waveform is im-proved by causing the profile of the waveforms to depart from the usual squared profile. In one example the waveforms are caused to have substantially triangular leading and/or trailing edges and the profile causing the material to re-main set in its existing optical state differs from that causing the material to change into another optical state.

Abstract: Bacon products having very low fat contents are provided from high fat sources which can include pork trimmings.  The bacon products are made from a composite of two low-fat meat components.  In an illustrated arrangement, one of the low-fat meat components is processed from high-fat content meat trimmings which are comminuted, heated and centrifuged, preferably in conjunction with being phosphated, under specific processing conditions.  The second low-fat component in the illustrated arrangement is desinewed to remove substantial amounts of fat associated with the sinew that is mechanically removed from whole muscle tissue.  The bacon product has a total fat content of not greater than about 5 percent by weight.  It can be of the no-fat or fat-free variety within which fat contents which meet the regulatory definition will vary depending upon the particular type of product being made.  Fat contents can be not greater than about 3.5 percent by weight, or not greater than about 2 percent by weight, or less than 1 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the composite bacon product.  If desired, the first and second low-fat meat components can be assembled in an alternating manner to provide a bacon product having a light-colored phase and a dark-colored phase.
